There wasn't much Ryun Williams could do about the lack of athleticism on the Colorado State women's basketball team during his first season with the Rams. But entering his second year with the program, the coach has aggressively gone about reshaping the roster.

Tuesday, Williams announced his seventh new player for the upcoming 2013-14 campaign with the addition of transfer Victoria Wells from Trinity Valley Community College (Athens, Texas). Wells is a 5-foot-10 defensive-minded guard/forward who helped the Lady Cardinals win their second straight NJCAA title in 2012-13, averaging 6.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 blocks a game. She'll join CSU as a junior and is eligible to play right away.

"Victoria is a national champion who understands the sacrifices needed to win," Williams said in a news release. "She will be an immediate impact to our lineup and give us that athletic piece, and will be our most tenacious lockdown defender. Ram fans will love watching this young lady compete. Victoria has a high level motor and a refuse-to-lose mentality that will fit right in with next year's group."

Prior to her season at Trinity Valley, Wells played at Marshall, where she started 21 of 30 games and led all Conference USA freshman with 1.9 steals per game. With Wells now officially on board, CSU has one more available scholarship for the upcoming season.
